DOI for book chapters?

erazlogo
FYI: I came across a book chapter with a DOI and noticed that Zotero Book Chapter doesn't have a field for it. Perhaps it should.

https://doi-org.lib-ezproxy.concordia.ca/10.1163/9789004261723_004

    You can add it to Extra like this:
    DOI: 10.1234/56789

    That will get picked up by citation styles, and it will be migrated to a proper DOI field when one is available. If you save this item to your library using the Zotero browser connector, it will save the DOI like this.

    Is there an update on this?
  • bwiernik
    My answer above applies

    What if the URL is something like https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316823279.009, will that get automatically pulled into DOI as well?
  • bwiernik
    Yes

    @scottseagroves As I understand:
    - If you import from the Zotero Connector, it will recognize the chapter and add the correct DOI of the chapter in the Extra field, as mentioned by @bwiernik . This is the recommended way to add missing fields, as Zotero currently does not support DOI for books or book sections: see "Citing Fields from Extra" in https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields
    I understand that the translators are then able to overcome this limitation and move the DOI to the correct field when exporting.
    - If you import from the DOI in Zotero with "Add Item(s) by Identifier", then (in this case) it imports the full book (DOI: 10.1017/9781316823279) instead of the book section.

    Add by Identifier will import whatever the publisher provides to the DOI registrar. Most chapters import correctly. If one doesn’t, that should be reported to the publisher

    A naïve query from Crossref suggests that the metadata looks good -> "type":"book-chapter"

    Could you have a look into this to identify where the import is failing for Zotero?

    (This looks like a new way to specify chapters in CrossRef UnixRef @AbeJellinek this would be good to take a look at, potentially fairly broad implications -- I'm happy to advise, but I won't have time to work on this in the near future likely)
  • AbeJellinek
    @adamsmith: I'll take a look, thanks.
